State Wins Over Parents In Common Core Lawsuit

June 21, 2016Megan RaposaArgus Leader

South Dakota’s adoption of Common Core standards was not illegal,
a Hughes County judge ruled last week. Two South Dakota parents
filed a suit against Gov. Dennis Daugaard and the state in
November arguing that South Dakota’s involvement in
an multi-state assessment group aligned with Common
Core standards was illegal.

Last week, Circuit Court Judge Mark Barnett ruled that the state
had not violated any federal or state laws.
